Can you feel the force?
A pop song by British soul group The Real Thing,

Released as a single on 26 January 1979.
It became an instant hit.

Google it, it is a cool disco song.
We feel the force too.

From all corners of our VW world the “force” is working.
The VW hobby only becomes bigger and bigger.

It does not stop, it’s only growing.
We help where we can.

New and better parts, always.
Presented here and now as each Friday.

Welcome to the BBT News.

We add another roof to our VW bus roof line.
We also add the complete Samba roof.

This roof comes complete with rain gutters, strengthening bows, fresh air box and skylight pressings with their correct inner reinforcements.

It is a great extra roof in our complete roof line up HERE

Nobody stocks more roofs than BBT, nobody.
Because we make them….

0890-802-2 Complete Roof samba/deluxe – Bus 08/63-07/67 SWT

A perfect fit to your new roof?
Or just a replacement of your old scruffy faded ones?

Or just missing as in so many buses?
We release the hardboard sunvisors for early Deluxe buses.

Original used from 1955 up to 1959 when replaced by the padded ones.
Of course fits in every year T1 bus for that cool effect.

So much nicer than padded visors.
Finished in durable hardboard in correct grain.

All metal parts are made in highly polished high grade stainless steel.
Sold per pair in ivory or grey color.

All our bus sun visors found HERE

0560-005 Sunvisors ‘Deluxe’ brown – Bus 03/55-07/58 (pair)
0560-006 Sunvisors ‘Deluxe’ grey – Bus 03/55-07/58 (pair)

Unhappy with  the inferior quality on the market we decided to tool up and made our own late model fuel cap.

We made them with a decent lock that locks well and does not fall out.
Also, enough windings make them fit as an original.

Proudly packed in its custom designed BBT Box.
We have plenty stock and attractive quality pricing.

We are working on more fuel caps, will be continued.

Do you feel the force? We certainly do!
The BBT news team wishes you a funky weekend!

On September 1 schools start back in Belgium after the summer holidays.
It is like the whole country awakens from a deep summer sleep.

Do you suffer the August blues?
Volkswagen people don’t need those mental traps.

Looking at our cars can be enough to create our holiday feelings!
Let us help you to enjoy that (VW) holiday even better.

More and better parts.
Welcome to the BBT News!

We tooled up to bring you the perfect deformation panel behind the front bumper of your late bay window bus.

The Brazilian model ,which is/was available, has a round shape in the front.
This because they use early bay window bumper profiles.

European buses need a nice flat front deformation panel.

We make them exactly like original.
2,5mm thick steel and one piece deep pressed.

During research and development, we found out there is a 1973 only model as well!
No VW parts book or microfiche mentions this.

The difference you can see if yours has flat or upright ends.
We bring you both as your bus deserves nothing less than a correct restoration.

The 74-79 separate end pieces available HERE
The 1973 seperate end pieces will be available soon.

Get yours now!

74-79 sold out already, new production is running.
We’re happy to take you reservations.

Let us get this straight.
Our factory used a wrong protection film at our first production.

The film was too sticky and very hard to remove.
After we found out we made a new production run.

We destroyed all mirrors with bad protection film.
We supply only the good ones from now on!

BBT Frederik thought it was an innovative idea to add a “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” key fob.
Always cool to hang on several spots in your car.

The number one accessory out of the dragster world.
Sharply priced for lots of fun!
